Lesson 8

Okay, so my department teamed together to create a flickr account. We uploaded the pictures today. I guess they'll be available sometime next week. We tagged some of our pictures collection development and when we searched that term we were very perplexed as to why our pictures did not show. After we solved that mystery we looked at the other pictures with that tag. It was very interesting what people consider collection development. There were beach scenes. I wish! No, actually I don't as I'm not overly fond of laying out in the sun or being exposed to the amount of sun you're exposed to on the beach. Anyway, there were relevant pictures as well. Some were from a library (or libraries?) in Morocco.
I created a protopage. Again, I am overwhelmed. There is so much there. All I managed to do was rename a few tabs, change some colors, and put in my zip so I could get the local weather. One thing about all this 2.0 stuff is you need a lot of time to sort it all out much less participate. I tend to get caught up in the big picture and then panic at it's size and depth and bail. This happens a lot when I want to clean my house. I shall try to overcome this shortcoming.
